It makes the case for a jobs strategy with a sharper poverty lens that would focus on raising labor productivity in agriculture and informal off-farm employment to foster structural transformation, while, in parallel, pursuing longer-term goals of expanding the thin formal sector. 2017-04-18T14:32:15Z 2017-04-18T14:32:15Z 2017 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/759171492491255997/Cote-d-Ivoire-jobs-diagnostic-employment-productivity-and-inclusion-for-poverty-reduction http://hdl.handle.net/10986/26384 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Social Protection Study Economic & Sector Work Africa Cote d'Ivoire
